On June 13th the School of Medicine held its Commencement Celebration, recognizing the accomplishments and successes of the 213 recipients of the Masters of Science (30 degrees conferred), Doctor of Philosophy (103 degrees conferred) and Doctor of Medicine (80 degrees conferred). Each of the recipients has worked long and hard for this day and we congratulate each one for their individual or joint degree(s). We also wish each one incredible success in the future and hope that their lives and careers bring them further personal and professional satisfaction.
We commemorated our Commencement Celebration by remarks from two students: Amy Radermacher, who received a PhD in the Immunology Program and Adeoti Oshinowo, who received a Doctor of Medicine degree. Their commencement remarks follow. I offer my thanks and congratulations to Dr. Radermacher, who will be leaving Stanford to join the McKinsey & Company in Minneapolis, Minnesota and to Dr. Oshinowo who soon begins her residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at the University of Michigan. I have listed all of our stellar graduates below and congratulate each of them and their families and friends.
This year we had the privilege of benefiting from the Commencement Presentation by Dr. Helene Gayle, president and CEO of CARE USA, a leading humanitarian organization fighting global poverty. Dr. Gayle has been internationally recognized for her expertise on health, global development and humanitarian issues. After twenty years at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), where she focused on combating HIV/AIDS, Dr. Gayle joined the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to lead global programs on HIV, TB and Reproductive Health. At CARE she leads one of the world’s premier international humanitarian organizations. Her accomplishments have won her many awards and accolades including being named as one of Newsweek’s top 10 “Women in Leadership” in 2008 and one of the Wall Street Journal’s “50 Women to Watch” in 2006.
We also had the opportunity to offer our appreciation and gratitude to faculty and students who received awards for teaching, advising and patient care. Their awards and names are listed below.|

Graduate Student Speaker: Amy Radermacher, PhD candidate in Immunology
Colin Powel once said, “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.” As we have all discovered, graduate school is a long and arduous process with a good bit of failure mixed in. This simple fact begs the question of why we were willing to endure five, six, seven, or even more years (and why we’ve continually put up with the question of “have you graduated yet?”). I suspect that for many of us, our reasons for staying in graduate school are not the same as those we started with. For some, a Ph.D. is a necessary step towards professorship. For others, running a research group in industry also demands a Ph.D. Others used the Ph.D. to figure out where to go from here and gravitated towards becoming science writers, policy makers, consultants, and patent lawyers. For still others, the knowledge gained during the Masters will be invaluable in future endeavors.
In spite of what of it seemed like in lab at midnight when samples ran off the gel or cells refused to cooperate or one of the other countless things that could have gone wrong and inevitably did at one point or another, a Ph.D. is not without its upsides. There’s the moment when you walk into your family reunion and are introduced as a doctor for the first time. Unfortunately, this means that you too will have to look at Uncle Jim’s neck rash at Christmas. Remember, you worked 6 years for this! Masters graduates, congratulations on your escape!
The lessons we learned over the years made graduate school worth all the hard work. They’ll stick with us long after we’ve graduated. Now, some of these lessons may be more important than others. For example, knowing how comfortable the couch is in the lounge or, in the case of Beckman, the bathroom, may not be very useful in your next job. But learning that a bottle of two-buck chuck really isn't all that bad could come in handy (especially on a postdoc's salary).
In all seriousness, one lesson we must remember is that with a primarily publically funded degree, whether through the National Institutes of Health or the National Science Foundation, comes a responsibility to society. Giving back by using your extensive scientific training to educate the public, even a little, will not only benefit them, but you as well. Maybe you’ll choose to give a public talk about your research. Or lead experiments at your local high school. Or write newspaper articles and editorials targeted at the public. Whatever you decide to do, increased public understanding of science will only positively impact scientific research.
Even in the face of the failure of experiments, the lack of results, and the glacial pace at which things always seemed to move, the tremendous importance of friends became very clear. Without them, we wouldn’t have weathered the stress that was, by another name, graduate school. Everyone got a laugh from putting an eppendorf tube filled with dry ice under the new postdoc’s chair and watching him jump when it popped. And figuring out how to make ice cream using liquid nitrogen produced some fun times. Throughout everything, we know our friends were what kept us sane.
These memories and relationships will support us throughout our lives, especially as we conquer our next Ph.D.-like challenge. Because there will definitely be a next challenge. If we’ve learned nothing else, it’s that after graduate school, we can survive pretty much anything.
And yet, perhaps, the greatest reward we received in pursuit of such an ambiguous and extremely frustrating goal was a deeper understanding of ourselves. Pay attention. Think about what you have learned. For, if absorbed, these lessons will guide us through life, towards what will satisfy us, what will make us happy, and what we should strive toward, allowing us to create our own definitions of success instead of following another’s path. Perhaps you discovered what area of science excites you most. Or what motivates you. Or where you want to go from here.
Take the time to realize what a huge accomplishment you’ve achieved today and think about what you’ll bring with you as you move on to the next stage of your life. What will you take away?

Medical Student Speaker: Adeoti Oshinowo
Welcome friends, family, and colleagues! Before I start I just want to give a quick shout out to my mom and dad who did not know I’d be speaking today. Surprise!
Over the past weeks I have tried to wrap my head around what I would talk about in the 5 minutes given to me, and it finally came to me while I was packing for the big move and sifting through the seemingly endless piles of stuff I have accumulated in my 5 years here at Stanford, I came across a pair of white, bejeweled, 4 inch, platform flip flops! As I often do, I narrated thru my Bluetooth this new find of an old treasure to my brother. AND as long as I live, I will never forget his words of wisdom 'Turn the page, Ade! Turn the page.'
After a brief moment of silence for my once fabulous platforms, I put them in the Goodwill pile and thought about turning yet another page in life and how much has changed since the last page.
The word “Change” has almost become cliché, but So much has changed since we got here 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 years ago:
First of all, WE have changed.
From taking a history in one hour to taking one in 10 minutes.
From being afraid to touch a standardized patient, to fluidly examining a patient from head to toe.
Our list of possible diagnoses has increased from one to many.
From freaking out in Dr. G’s office about what scholarly concentration to pick, to freaking out in Dr. G’s office about what residency program to pick.
From not knowing what we wanted to do with our lives, to defining a clear path for ourselvesAnd with the advent of shows like ER, Scrubs, Nip/Tuck, House, Grey’s Anatomy, and Private Practice, becoming a doctor, though always admirable, has nowbecome chic and “cool.”
We get asked the inevitable questions like: Ok, girl, answer me this: have you met any McDreamy’s, McSteamy’s, or McHotty’s?
To which I answer: No... but I’ve met some McNerdy’s, McGeeky’s and McNotty’s. ALL of which are cute in their own right.
Sorry, where was I, right change:
I’ve got three words for you: Barack Hussein Obama--won’t say too much (because you know I can).... but real quick: It is only recently that I woke up and thought, "Wow! My first lady is a tall... beautiful... woman... dare I say... like me?
With changes in government doors have been open for innovations in research, healthcare policy, and international relations that were not open before.
BUT, as we turn the page... the more things change the more some things should stay the same; and seeing as tomorrow is Fathers Day, thought I’d quickly share four lessons from the Mama and Papa Oshinowo book of life that have gotten me through medical school thus far and that will definitely get me through residency and the rest of my life.
Lesson #1: You are a reflection of where you came from. In other words: You are representing more than just yourself. Once when I was in Nigeria, a man whom I had never met came to me and said, “The lives of many hang on your shoulders.” As we go off to residency, we ARE the offspring of Stanford and should represent Stanford excellence in everything we do. Just like we represent our communities and our families.
Lesson #2: Know where your help (your source) comes from and seek it out. Our lives, believe it or not, are going to become infinitely more hectic, and without support we may get lost in the controlled chaos of residency. Prayer has been and always will be the source that has gotten me through. So if it be in your family, your friends or your faith, seek it and hold on tight.
Lesson #3: What you give, you get ten times over. Therefore, always take time to help those behind you. I think this lesson speaks to the spirit of mentorship. No matter how old or how young, everyone needs a mentor, but mentorship starts with us, starts with you. Even if you feel like you only have one or two words of wisdom, take a moment to drop that wisdom on the pre-med, med student, junior resident, or junior colleague. A little goes a long way.
Finally, Lesson #4: In the words of my Pops, “100% work and 100% play is the one and only way.” At least when it pertains to work.
Medical school has given us good times: Luaus at Char’s house; Moonlightings (That’s med school prom for those of you who don’t know); SUMMA conferences;
Wilderness bonding, SWEAT trips, ski trips, road trips, spontaneous trips to Vegas, Carnival cruises, Halloween parties, Xmas parties, St. Patty’s day parties, Economic Hardship parties, AND talent shows... SMS 05’s, I hate to admit it, but your production was the funniest to dateAll of this in the midst of studying for HHD exams and for boards!
Our ability to take time for ourselves and have fun in the face of daunting tasks, speaks to the spirit of the Stanford Medical Student community, and I, as well as my Pops, believe we should carry this spirit throughout our careers.
That is the end of the lesson, but, Class of 2009, today marks the beginning of a new era, today we turn the page with anticipation of what changes lie ahead, turn the page with confidence that we have been well prepared, and turn the page knowing that we will contribute to the greater good of the world. I am privileged to call you colleagues, and, more importantly, friends; and I can’t wait to see what life has in store for us because I know the book of the Stanford University School of Medicine Class of 2009 will be a real page turner.
Thank you.

Commencement Speaker: Helene Gayle, MD, MPH, President & CEO, CARE USA
Dean Pizzo, distinguished faculty of Stanford Med, family, friends, guests, thank you for inviting me to share this day with the graduating class of 2009.
When Dean Pizzo invited me to be here, I asked what I should speak about. At first, he said I could talk about anything I liked. But I wanted to make sure my remarks were relevant, so I pushed for more clarity. “Really, any hints on what I should talk about would be helpful.” At that point he said, “OK, if you really want to know, I’d like you to speak about 10-15 minutes.”
So I’ll be brief for that reason and two others.
The first is that I understand that I am the last speaker standing between you and getting your degree.
The second reason is that the best advice you are going to receive today will not come from me, the person standing in front of you, but it will come as it always has from the people sitting behind you whose wisdom, guidance and sacrifice have helped make this day a reality.
So, before we go any further, let’s hear it for your parents, your families, your loved ones...
Seeing you all in your caps and gowns makes me reflect on how much has changed since I was in medical school. At that time, smallpox had recently been eradicated, the first test-tube baby was born and information technology was a handheld calculator.
However, one thing hasn’t changed: A degree in medicine and medical sciences is one of the most powerful tools I know to enable you to have a positive impact on individuals, societies and our entire world.
I urge you to realize this power.You are graduating today into a world of paradoxes.
There are more millionaires and billionaires than ever before, and yet half the world’s people have to survive on less than $2 a day; over a billion people live on less than one dollar a day. One out of every six people in our world has no access to safe drinking water.
Even in our country, the gap between affluence and poverty is growing. During this economic crisis, while so many are struggling, we have heard appalling examples of greed and excessive compensation.
Meanwhile, more than 45 million Americans, including 9 million children, have no health insurance.In a World Health Organization report a few years back, America was ranked 37th in the world in overall health system effectiveness. Clearly, we have unfinished business in our own health agenda.
Then, consider for a moment the health gap between the developed and the developing world.
The average life expectancy in industrialized nations is 77 years, compared with 49 years in the developing world. Why? Well largely because, children in poor countries die at astonishing rates and from diseases we have essentially eliminated in this country
Today a child born in Africa is 20 times more likely to die before his or her first birthday than a child in America.
More than half of these deaths are due to preventable diseases – malaria, measles and diarrhea. And, while we fight obesity and diseases of over nutrition, the other half of those preventable childhood deaths are due to lack of food and malnutrition.
Then there are diseases like HIV and tuberculosis that account for 5 million deaths each year, mainly in adults, most of whom were in the prime years of their lives. And, finally, chronic diseases in poor nations are on the rise, adding to the already daunting challenge of infectious disease.
Yet, at the same time that we seem more distant and divided than ever before, we are also closer and more connected than ever. Swine flu and other diseases remind us that microbes don’t stop at borders. And technology allows us to bridge vast distances in a blink of an eye.
So, the art and science of building healthy societies has always been essential, but it seems especially crucial now.
We’ve seen advances in genetics and biotechnology that were incomprehensible 50 years ago, and almost unimaginable even a decade ago. At home and around the world, we’ve made it possible to live longer, better lives. However, the application of progress has fallen far behind the pace of change.
Our science may be superb and our medicines more effective than ever, but still, our ability to get care and treatment to the people who need it most in this country and around the world is deeply unimpressive.
If we believe that all life has equal value, then a preventable death anywhere in the world is a tragedy and should cause us some measure of pain.
Consider this: when the Air France flight from Brazil crashed last week, we heard immediately about the heartbreaking loss of the 228 people aboard -- and we mourned for them, their families and friends. Yet on that very same day, 8,000 children died from diseases that inexpensive vaccines could have prevented, 14,000 people were newly infected with HIV and 1,500 women died from childbirth.
Pennies a day could make the difference between life and death for millions of people.If we put our best minds and resources towards solving the problems that impact the greatest number of people in our world, we could dramatically change those statistics in our lifetime.
This strikes me as much more than a health problem. It raises profoundly important moral questions. What do we all stand for? What do we value for all human life? How should we use our careers as health professionals?
All of our finest philosophers have told us in simple language that we have an obligation to take care of each other. In the words of Martin Luther King: “We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects another indirectly.” Or as the English poet and clergyman John Donne wrote, “Anyone’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind.”
So what can we do about it?Each of you will surely find a different way to find your highest calling and to impact the lives of people who are, after all, depending on you to make a difference.
As you sit here, thinking forward of the careers you are about to undertake, I feel the opposite impulse – to reflect backwards, on what I was thinking when I was in your shoes, about to start my new career.
When I was growing up, I never thought much about being a doctor. In high school, I considered myself to be, first and foremost, a social activist. Nixon. Racism. Sexism. Apartheid. Bras. You name it, I protested it.
It wasn’t until half way through college that I began to see how a career in health could be an amazing path for contributing to social change... and that social change was better achieved by being for something, rather than against everything.
My growing interest in public health was solidified in medical school when I heard a commencement speech at my brother’s graduation ceremony by Dr. D.A. Henderson, one of the leaders of the worldwide campaign to eradicate smallpox.
I was simply awed by the audacity of the effort he described.
Using the tools of public health, he and people like him around the world took on smallpox -- a disease that is estimated to have taken over 500 million lives since the time of the Pharaohs – and wiped it from the face of the earth.
I realized right then that I would use my career to impact social change and social justice by working to improve the health of people around the world.
After graduating, I trained in pediatrics and public health, and went to work at the Centers for Disease Control.
It didn’t take long before I chose to work on HIV/AIDS or as I often say, HIV chose me, not only because it was a scientifically fascinating issue but equally because of the societal imperative that it poses.Making a difference in the fight against HIV, a disease that disproportionately affects the poor, the socially marginalized and stigmatized, means affirming that all life matters and has equal value—whether it is the life of a injecting drug user in urban America, a young gay man in London or a teenage sex worker in northern Thailand.
That same commitment to use my skills to contribute to social justice eventually led me to work at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and then to CARE.
It is deeply gratifying to be part of an organization that is tackling poor health in the context of fighting poverty and its root causes. With no access to clean and safe drinking water, when a child gets sick from dirty water, whether or not she gets medicine doesn’t matter. The next time she fills her glass, she’ll just get sick again.
This is how the cycle of poverty drags people down: one illness, one injury, one drink of water at a time.
For want of the most basic things, families lose their footing. The official cause of death might be diarrhea or malaria or cholera; but the real killer is poverty.
It is a great privilege to work for organizations that believe we can make a difference in the lives of people everywhere. And to support communities who are coming together to improve their health and quality of life – in places like Peru where rural women are trained as skilled birth attendants, in Angola where families help build and maintain clean water systems or in Bangladesh where improved management of dairy production is increasing incomes and nutrition.
But believe me, I am leaving plenty for you new graduates to do.
I talked earlier about the gaps in society... the advances in medicine and the incredible pace of change.
It will fall to you to combine your education... your commitment... and those advances to bridge the gaps and write a more hopeful chapter in the story of our national health... and global health.
This is a time of incredible challenge, but great challenges also bring great opportunities. When you return for your reunion 10, 20, 50 years from now, what do you want to be said about what you did with your career? How do you want your generation to be remembered?
Only you can answer those questions for yourselves... all I can offer is my hope, my prayers, my pride... and one final story:
I think one of the most remarkable people that I have ever had the privilege of meeting is Nelson Mandela.
In his inaugural address as the first democratically elected president of South Africa, he challenged all of us to acknowledge the potential we all have within but are often afraid to realize. He said, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.”
As Nelson Mandela was waiting for his moment, during those long years of incarceration, he never lost his faith that he could help change the world. That same spirit was found in the townships of Soweto in South Africa, among the poor women who struggled against so many forms of adversity, but sang a song over and over with this verse: “We’re the ones we’ve been waiting for,” reminding themselves that they too had an important role to play in the future of their society.
Those two thoughts contain everything I want to say to you today.
The challenges the world presents to you are great, but so are the tools and talents you possess. You are powerful beyond measure.
This is the moment you’ve been waiting for. And as the world waits for people of talent and vision to bridge the yawning chasm between what appears inconceivable and what we hope to make inevitable, realize this: You are the ones you’ve been waiting for.
Congratulations and thank you, Stanford med class of 2009!
